Earlier this month, The Christian Science Monitor ran
a comparison of four types of fuel (with forecasts from theU.S.
Energy Information Administrationto heat homes in the Northeast, the
only region in the country to use all four heat sources:
Electricity
(on the rise; about one-third of U.S. homes use it for primary heat);
Heating oil (prices are tied to
world events; 6% of U.S. homes use it for primary heat, mostly in the

Natural gas (huge supply

Propane (a relatively clean
